Set your phasers to sing as today marks the birthday of William Shatner, the man who
brought us one of pop culture’s most iconic science fiction characters.

While most recognized for his portrayal of Captain James T.
Kirk from Star Trek: The Original Series
and its prevailing movies, what many might not know is that Mr. Shatner also
played a few unforgettable roles on another classic sci-fi series, The Twilight Zone.

One of his most memorable characters was Bob Wilson, the
haunted passenger who was the only person to witness the Gremlin on the plane’s
wing in the episode "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet". Mr. Shatner also played Nick Carter in the infamous episode “Nick of Time”, where a honeymooning couple stumbles upon a Mystic Seer machine that allows them to see into the future.
